You Cleansed My Heart

by Brad Ryder

Chorus:     You cleansed my heart with your kindness and love,
                   Now your song is with me every night.
                   I sing a prayer for the God of my life,
                   How I’ve changed since the day you cleansed my heart.

Verse 1:    Used to use my eyes for gazing and wondering
                   At all the wealth this world could give.
                   Used my ears to hear the promise of riches
                   And how I needed more to live.

Verse 2:    Used to use my voice for calling, demanding
                   Whatever I could claim as mine.
                   Used my hands to grasp at treasures that perish;
                   Never had my share till you made me aware:
                   Lord, only your love has any reason or rhyme;
                   Your gift lasts for all time.

Repeat chorus.

Verse 3:    Used to use my heart for longing and craving
                   The things that must get left behind.
                   Used my head to plan a future of fortune;
                   Never had my fill till you showed me your will.
                   Lord, only your love has any reason or rhyme;
                   Your gift lasts for all time.

Repeat chorus.
